He is a Fool

I think Mama said Booker T. Washington and George Murchison are fools because, on page 103 Booker says that he thinks that education spoils people, which is incorrect, so Mama calls them fools. Also Booker and George want to fit in with the Whites. And they also think that its more important to fit in than following in what you believe in. Also both of them say that that education is just to get a degree and a job. In conclusion Booker and George are fools because they think they will receive respect if they are wealthy and will fit in.

In literature as in life a character may search for a better way of life, such as Benethea, she is trying to find a better life by going to college and coming out ahead of her family. What she plans to gain is the skills to be a doctor and be successful at the same time. She attempts to bring about change by going to college and studying to be a doctor, the only way she can go to college is by the money that Mama received, and she is already getting part of that because of Page 43 it says "Part of it going to be put away for Benethea and her schoolin."

My second character is Walter, Walter is searching for a better life investing in a liquor store, I think this is selfish because hes only thinking about himself and not his family. Walter is hoping to make a lot of money by investing into this liquor store, therefore he can have a richer life. He is attempting to bring about change by getting money from 10,000 Mama received. He plans the use the 10k to invest into the store and have big profits for example he says "Sometimes its like I can see the future stretched out in front of me." But Walter soon finds out that Mama has other plans with the money and uses it to buy a house.

I don't think Walter is thinking about his father, because on page 83-84 hes saying hes to invest big in the liquor store. All Walter cares about is money and to invest in something that might not even work. I think Walters father would like him to think about his family too and him too. In page 45 it says that Walters father always wanted his children to be someone in life, and he loved his children dearly so Walter should give him some money.
